篇1：英文寓言小故事
A man once went abroad on his travels, and when he came home he had wonderful tales to tell of the things he had done in foreign countries. Among other things, he said he had taken part in a jumping-match at Rhodes, and had done a wonderful jump which no one could beat. “Just go to Rhodes and ask them,”
he said; “every one will tell you it's true.” But one of those who were listening said, “If you can jump as well as all that, we needn't go to Rhodes to prove it. Let's just imagine this is Rhodes for a minute: and now -- jump!”
Deeds, not words.

When the boys came home that day, Mrs Wen took some chopsticks from the kitchen.
“Try and break these,” she told them. Neither of them could break the chopsticks. Then she gave them one chopstick each.
“Now try and break it, ”she said. They both broke the chopstick easily.
“You see,” said Mrs Wen, “We are like the chopsticks. We are only strong when we help each other. ”
After that, they never fought again.

Zeng Zi was one of Confucius' disciples.
One day, Zeng Zi's wife wanted to go to market. Their son wanted to go together with her. He made a row, crying and fussing without stop. His wife could do nothing but bend down tohumour him, saying: “My darling, go home now. Mama will be back soon. When I'm back, I'll kill the pig to make a meal for you.”
When the son heard this, he went home happily.
Not long after, the wife returned home from the market. Zeng Zi tied up their fat pig, took out a shining sharp knife and prepared to kill it. When his wife saw this, she hurriedly held Zeng Zi by the hand and said: “What's the matter with you? I was only trying to humour the child.”
Zeng Zi said seriously: “How can you cheat a child? The child is still small and doesn't understand things. He only follows the example of his parents. Now you cheat him, then he will follow your example and cheat others. Furthermore, when a mother cheats her child, the child will no longer trust his mother. Then, how can you educate the child well?”
Having said this, Zeng Zi raised his knife and killed the fat pig.
曾子是孔子的一个学生。
有一天，曾子的妻子要上街。儿子吵着要跟妈妈一起去，又哭又闹，吵个不停。妻子没有办法，只好弯腰哄他，说：“我的小宝贝，回家去吧!妈妈去了就回来，一回来就杀猪给你吃。”
儿子听了，高高兴兴地回家去了。
过了不久，妻子从街上回到了家。曾子就把家里的肥猪捆住，拿出雪亮的尖刀，准备杀猪。妻子看见了就急忙拉住曾子的手，说：“你这是怎么了?我只不过是哄哄小孩的。”
曾子严肃地说：“你怎么能够哄骗孩子呢?现在，孩子还小，不懂事，他只会照着父母的样子去做。你现在哄骗孩子，孩子就会学你的样子，去哄骗别人。做母亲的哄骗儿子，做儿子的就不会再信任母亲。这样，怎么能教育好孩子呢?”
曾子话一说完，就一刀宰了肥猪。

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he was so angry that the colow of his face changed. But he told the official this story: When I came here yesterday, on the way I heard a voice calling 'Help!' I turned my head and saw a small crucian carp in the dried-up carriage ditch.“
I went over and asked: ”Little crucian carp, why are you calling for help?“
The little crucian carp answered: ”I am a subject of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Unfortunately I fell down here. Can you give me a little water to save my life?“
I said: ”All right, I am just going to the south to sell ideas to the kings of the States of Wu and Yue. I will ask them to stir up the water of the Xijiang River to welcome you. Will that do?“
When the crucian carp heard this, it got angry and said: ”When I lose the water which is always with me, I cannot survive. Now, I want only a little bit of water so that I can survive.Yet you say such things. Then you'd better go to the salt-fish shop to look for me.“
篇6：寓言小故事英文
In the fields, there was a small animal called ”wu shu“ (the flying squirrel).
It would say to everyone it met: ”I have five skills: flying, walking, swimming, climbing trees, and digging holes in the ground.“
Thereupon, its pals would laugh at it, saying: ”Though you have learned these skills, you have mastered none of them.“
”You can fly, but not high; you can swim, but not far; you can climb trees, but not to the treetop; you can dig holes in the ground, but not deep enough.“
When the flying squirrel heard what its pals said, it ran away manger.
Indeed, the flying squirrel had learned five skills, but when put to use, they were useless. How could they be called real skills?

When they went into action,万 dais always acted uniformly without any disorder. They depended upon the collective efforts to avoid any harm from the outside world.
篇8：英文寓言小故事

”What have I done to you,“ said the vine, ”that you should harm me thus? Isn't there grass enough for you to feed on? All the same, even if you eat up every leaf I have, and leave me quite bare, I shall produce wine enough to pour over you when you are led to the altar(祭坛，圣坛) to be sacrificed.“

篇10：英文寓言小故事
A soldier gave his horse a plentiful supply of oats(燕麦) in time of war, and tended him with the utmost care, for he wished him to be strong to endure the hardships of the field, and swift to bear his master, when need arose, out of the reach of danger.
But when the war was over he employed him on all sorts of drudgery(苦工), bestowing(使用，授予) but little attention upon him, and giving him, moreover, nothing but chaff to eat.
The time came when war broke out again, and the soldier saddled and bridled his horse, and, having put on his heavy coat of mail, mounted him to ride off and take the field. But the poor half-starved beast sank down under his weight, and said to his rider, “You will have to go into battle on foot this time.
Thanks to hard work and bad food, you have turned me from a horse into an ass, and you cannot in a moment turn me back again into a horse.”
